Them playing backups is dependent on clinching home field advantage. If they do I think they could use some backups and let people heal a little bit. Anyway we have something else to worry about for 4 weeks

If they win this week, then 10-6, if they lose, then 9-7 is much more likely. That would be a game higher than I projected them at 8-8

looks like injuries finally caught up to them

The defense is hurt all around when Alonso is off the whole unit is off. Same with the o line and pouncey

The next game will be paramount to measure the level of fight in the team. As I stated before I dont really care about results as long as I can see an improvement. This game wasnt bad because Tannehill played bad (his last bad game was Cincinnati, I can live with that kind of inconsistency against one of the best defenses in the league) but because the team almost never tried(except Suh and you guess who? Byron Maxwell).

As Gatr suggests if we fold in December losing games like that we are back to square one.

That being said the argument of the streak of 6 easy games is just false. Other than the fact that nogame is easy in the NFL we won games against Pittsburgh who was 4-1 at the time, Buffalo who was comin off a 4 game winning streak and Chargers who are always a dangerous team especially when you travel 4 time zones to get there. 49ers were the only really bad team we beat (Jets still had a pulse back then, they had just beaten the Ravens, and half of the Rams is a good team too).

We suffer injuries more than other team because we have no depth. It's a major issue when your LB unit is made of special teamers, that's usually why tight ends have a field day against us.
